Our operating activities are divided into four segments for management and reporting purposes:
Drilling and Development, Oil and Gas Sales, Natural Gas Marketing, and Well Operations. In addition,
PDC realizes limited revenue from non-operating activities, principally through interest and management
fees.
Our Drilling and Development segment reflects the performance or the drilling activities we conduct
for partnerships we sponsor and for other investors. Our Oil and Gas Sales segment relates to our
corporate investments in oil and natural gas producing properties. Our Riley Natural Gas subsidiary
markets gas for other Appalachian Basin producers and from our wells in the other producing regions
as well. Results of these operations for third party gas are reported as Natural Gas Marketing. We
operate nearly all of the wells that we own an interest in, and we charge the other interest owners
for operating their share of these wells. Income and expenses associated with these activities are
included in our Well Operations segment.
